Abstract

Aside from variation in the prion protein gene, genetic risk factors for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease remain elusive. Given emerging evidence implicating mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of the disorders, we studied the role of inherited mitochondrial DNA variation in a 2255 sporadic prion disease cases and 3768 controls. Our analysis indicates that inherited mitochondrial DNA variation does not have a major role in the risk of developing the disorder.
